Chapter 348: The so-called Han people

The absolute core of the Chinese, who call themselves Han.

Han comes from the Han Dynasty, and the Han of the Han Dynasty comes from the Han King of Liu Bang, the Han of the Han King comes from Hanzhong, the Han in Han refers to the Han water, and the Han of the Han water comes from the sound of the water flow of the Han water.

The Han refers to the male from the good name of the Han soldiers, and the Han was the first to describe the mighty soldiers of the Han Dynasty.

The river Han itself refers to the Milky Way, and another interpretation of the Han is that when the word drought occurs, the person who can divert water to irrigate the farmland has the meaning of a man who has a way.

And this title is actually the bloody memories of the foreign tribes who were killed in the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood.

Han people, Han children.

Soldiers should be treated as human beings, not as Confucians, who regarded anyone who was not a scholar as a brute.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the national strength was restored, the Western Regions were re-operated, and the Western Regions were restored, Geng Gong came to the Western Regions to fight with the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu sent troops to attack the Che Division, killed the Che Shi Hou Wang, and then attacked Geng Gong's garrison and besieged it into the city. At this time, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty died and had no time to send troops, and the rescue troops did not come, and Che Shiguo betrayed the Han Dynasty and joined forces with the Xiongnu to attack Geng Gong.

Geng Gong only a few hundred people, surrounded in Shule City, surrounded by 20,000 people, gradually cut off food, then boiled armor bow and crossbow, eat the animal tendon leather on it, the Hun envoy surrendered, he lured the messenger to the city, killed him with his own hands, in the city with fire to roast the body of the Northern Hun envoy, the Huns were furious, increased troops to attack, and finally even only a few dozen people remained.

At this moment of fierce battle, the capital Luoyang, the emperor and the ministers, were also engaged in a fierce debate: should they send rescue troops or not?

At that time, the situation was that communication was inconvenient, and the rationality or opposition rescued a group of people, when the news was received, Geng Gong had been besieged by the Xiongnu, and by the time the Han reinforcements arrived, it was estimated that there were already no bones.

The supporters of the other faction uttered a famous passage in history, which can be said to be eternal: "Now people are in a place of danger, and they are abandoned in a hurry, and they indulge in barbarian violence on the outside, and they are injured and killed on the inside." If you don't save it at this time, if the Huns re-offend and become a coward, how will Your Majesty make a general? ”

This is the ancient version of "don't abandon, don't give up", the soldiers went on an expedition, and when they were in danger, they didn't care about them, externally they connived at the brutal barbarians, and internally they hurt the hearts of those loyal ministers and good generals. If you don't save them now, if the Huns make a comeback in the future, who will serve the Han? So, be sure to save your own hero!

The Han army sent a 7,000-person siege relief team to rescue Geng Gong, and finally returned to the Han soil alive, only 13 people remained, several of these thirteen were directly awarded official positions, and the rest were directly incorporated into the Imperial Forest Army.

If it is purely based on profits, why should people risk their lives to help you fight?

In ancient times, both the East and the West were similar in terms of military systems.

In the early period of the dynasty, when the government decrees were accessible, the army could generally receive full pay, and military discipline could generally be implemented until the late dynasty, and everything was messed up.

The first is corruption and arrears, and the second is the suppression of layers in the army, the general's personal soldiers can receive enough salary, can ensure drills, follow the boss into battle, help supervise the war and cut cannon fodder, of course, the Ming Dynasty is called Jiading.

Then there are the standard battalion drill troops who receive five or six percent of the salary, and there is generally military discipline and training, and then there are cannon fodder soldiers who receive two or three percent of the salary, and they can only eat enough, their weapons and uniforms are tattered, and they usually patrol without any training and open their horizons to the naked eye. Generals who have no quality in fighting will also arrest civilians, "carry the soil forward", go to the front to consume the enemy's arrows, and fill the ravines dug by the opponent with soil or their own corpses. It is a level of soldiers, and they have to divide gangs by region or clan to fight.

If you are usually in the station, then it's okay, whenever you want to pull out the enemy, if you want these people to go hungry and sell your life, then you have to raise money to make up for the salary, and the supplement will definitely not make up, that is, make up two or three percent of the meaning, and then it will be opened, and a little more ruthlessly, send a Confucian or eunuch to be a prisoner, that is a direct blackmail of peeling skin and bones.

When they leave the garrison and leave their hometown and become a guest army, then they will be lawless, and the local governors elsewhere have no jurisdiction over the army, and no one cares about murder, arson, or even organized looting and slaughtering of villages. Otherwise, the big-headed soldiers who had not received enough food and salary made a noise, and mutinied, typical like the Wuqiao Mutiny in Chongzhen's three years, Kong Youde's Liaodong soldiers were not welcomed on the ground in Shandong, Sun Yuanhua asked Kong Youde to go to the Daling River, Kong Youde didn't want to die, and the soldiers stole chickens and stole to the big family Wang Xiangchun's house on the way, Wang Xiangchun's son did not forgive, and finally the local county order severely punished the Kong soldiers, and finally caused a mutiny. Afterwards, Wuqiao County Ling and Wang Xiangchun were punished by Chongzhen for mishandling. Kong soon connected with the Liaoning soldiers in Shandong to mutiny, broke Dengzhou, swept most of Shandong, Chongzhen spent a lot of money to order Sun Yuanhua to train the new army in this mutiny, the whole army attacked each other, the rest of the army with the defeated Kong Youde surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Maybe those soldiers are not good people, but the soldiers can't even get their salaries, and Donglin Zhengren, who traveled a long way to Liaodong desperately with a hungry stomach, is afraid that it is not a thing.

His soldiers are dying of starvation, and once this happens, you can't help but be a bastard, you can't become hard-hearted, and you can't stop plundering civilians. You love others, who the fuck loves you? You are all hungry and carry tattered weapons to slaughter foreign cavalry, what will you do with civilians? The improvement of military discipline in the modern army is also due to the modernization and modernization of the entire political system and logistics system.

The damage to production in troubled times is very huge, once there is no control of the original order, not only foreigners will kill people, but also officials and soldiers, bandits, and landlords. If you don't kill or rob others, you will starve, and if you are an honest person and do not rebel, you will be taken over by others to lead the army. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when there were basically no foreign invasions, the population plummeted to less than 8 million, a considerable part of which was due to the warlords' melee.

In the power sequence of the Presbyterian Church, the care of the soldiers is very important, not only because of the local influence of the regime, but also because of the current dependence on the railroad and the army, on the other hand, these people have undergone modern education under the leadership of the elders, and have learned the discipline of the modern concept of time, so to speak, the vast majority of people have been reborn, from the people of the Ming Dynasty to the modern or modern people.

This is a valuable asset, and in later generations in China and the United States, veterans as a group have indeed made a lot of achievements in entrepreneurship and wealth.

The reason for this is not difficult to understand: Although the training received by soldiers includes violent technical and tactical exercises, it is difficult for ordinary people to hone modern knowledge and personal mentality.

For the recruits who have completed the three-month boot camp training and are about to be distributed to various units, the condolence materials they receive are almost second only to those trained engineers, much stronger than those who are new to civil servants, and at least much stronger in the priority of material mobilization.

Liang Cunhou sighed, he was actually very tired of this, he had presided over the graduation meeting of the recruits more than ten times, from the initial feeling of power, the vanity above other human beings, to the current numbness, the speech has been polished, and even almost memorized.

Now, the quality of the recruits has been improved, in fact, compared with the war in previous years, what kind of old and weak have been pulled in by Li Zicheng or the official army to be cannon fodder, at present, basically feel that farming is not a big deal, and they know that the soldiers in the imperial capital are well fed and clothed, so they are eager to get up.

Under such an advantage, the procedure in the new barracks that originally needed to raise the bodies of those poor people who were hungry and cold could also be canceled, and at present, the strongest guys in Hebei were basically enlisted in the army, of course, this is also related to the population reduction under the massacre of our Qing Dynasty in the past ten years.

At present, after recruits enter a certain army, they are considered to be officially served, and after four years, they can choose to retire from the army, if they prefer to eat military meals, they can choose to transfer to volunteers or be promoted, and to a certain extent, become professional officers, then they can follow the army, and basically eat the imperial food for a lifetime.

Of course, if you choose to leave the army and go home, the resettlement money you get will not be less, basically the rhythm of the local average income for two years, if you are willing to immigrate overseas, then the land you get is basically two or three times that of other people.

In peacetime, all kinds of education will not be ambiguous, and this constitutes the theoretical framework of the new army.

Wang Jian suddenly sent a message, asking to meet, and he was in a hurry, but after Liang Cunhou let him in, he hurriedly said: "Old Liangtou, I can't attend the ceremony in a few days." ”

"What's the matter, is there a big deal?" The affairs of this army have always been the most sensitive.

"It's not a big deal, a spy was captured recently, so we need internal control."

"Spy!"

At present, there may be people in the imperial capital who bring news to the south, and all kinds of literati come to the imperial capital, and they also walk around to listen to the news, which is almost equivalent to a Ming spy.

The Council of Elders can tolerate even the spies of the Japanese shogunate and the Mitsui family, and naturally does not care at all about the various feudal Confucian students who are destined to enter the dustbin of history in the future.

Wang Jian said: "It's not just a spy, but it has penetrated into our army, so I'm afraid that something will happen, and you'd better not attend the report meeting in a few days." ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Wang Jian said: "That's the case, the urban management brigade raided a black den, which is basically dominated by thieves, and has long been targeted, these people have no specific work every day, but they can rent and live locally, and they have long been targeted by the neighborhood committee." ”

The neighborhood committees formed 300 years in advance have produced tremendous power once they are built, and those aunts who have houses at home and children who have jobs do not have to be busy with the work of surviving every day, and they don't have to worry too much about taking care of their children.

Countless bigwigs basically hated on the spot, everyone knew that the government of the imperial capital could still be a little tougher when it made sense, and the neighborhood committee was definitely a character who was invincible when it made sense.

Liang Cunhou said: "Did you find a spy? They're too stupid too. ”

In essence, there is very little intelligence work, as if the movie is full of bright lights, wine, fresh clothes, angry horses, handsome men, beautiful women, luxury cars, mansions, many people are ordinary people, ordinary collection work.

Basically, the more low-key the better, too handsome, too beautiful and ugly, the more ordinary it is, the more perfect it is like a brick moving uncle.

It would be silly for a spy to cover up as a thief.

"No, it was after being caught a few days ago, so naturally we had to count all kinds of stolen goods, and the lost items reported according to the registration report, one of which was just stolen for less than half a day, and the cloth bag that was seized by us before it had a chance to be opened by the thief, but it was very wrong inside."

"There's spy stuff in there."

"Theoretically, it's mainly a letter, and it's written on paper with rice juice and medicine, and you need to wipe it with iodine to see it clearly, and the content is written to a spy within us, who should have entered our system as a soldier in recent months, and asked Ah to pass back the training methods of the past few days, as well as various methods for building weapons and equipment, as soon as possible, and at the same time, he also said that this person's parents have been arranged very well, and this is already a clear threat and coercion."

Liang Cunhou said: "This doesn't seem to be new, the reason why we didn't dare to attack in great strides before was because we were afraid that this class enemy would rely on surrender to infiltrate our ranks and dirty the originally pure revolutionary ranks. ”

"I guess that person didn't even dare to call the police, and I don't know where he went now, but I guess it's unprofessional enough."

Liang Cunhou said: "Yes, it's shameful enough to be a spy to steal the key items transported, but it also gives us clues, that is, it can be confirmed that there are ghosts in the latest recruits?" ”

Wang Jian said: "This kind of thing is not new, some landlords or big surnames are also thinking about sending their children into the army, and also ask to garrison the army locally, where can this kind of thing be agreed, in fact, the bigger the household, the more you can't recruit soldiers." ”

Liang Cunhou said: "Can you make a bait?" ”

Wang Jian made a bitter face, intelligence is such a troublesome thing, especially before the electronicization has been completed, although the current resident population of the imperial capital is not yet one million, but there are always 800,000.

Liang Cunhou said: "Where the package comes from, whether it is the source of the cloth, the handwriting, the pen and ink, there is always a source that can be seen." ”

"It's a bit difficult, I'm now checking in the new population that came to the imperial capital in the last week, and it will take time."

"Don't worry, it's nothing more than a military parade, and then report on the military exercise, uh, the target shooting exercise will be canceled, this ......"
